Manual:Toys4Tots Manual:Introduction

Welcome Aboard!
Welcome to the Toys for Tots Manual of the STARFLEET Marine Corps (SFMC). This publication is intend-ed to guide you through the process of running a successful Toys for Tots campaign. This manual is primarily for members of the SFMC, which is a component of STARFLEET, The International Star Trek Fan Associa-tion, Inc. (SFI). However, the manual is open and free to read by the general public.

Pronoun Disclaimer
The use of he/his/him, etc., and in particular the term “man” as in “Infantryman” or “crewman”, are used for convenience as the standard English language conventions of unknown-gender pronouns. Not very politically correct, perhaps, but grammatical... and a lot less awkward than “Infantry person”.

Dedication
We are dedicating this edition of the Toys for Tots Manual to Lieutenant General Truman Temple. We lost Lieutenant General Temple on September 29th, 2008. Lieutenant General Temple was a proud member of STARFLEET & the STARFLEET Marine Corps. He was instructor for STARFLEET Academy and the Marine Corps Academy. At one time, he was even the instructor of the Armor Branch. He also served as DCO for TRACOM. Outside of working for the educational institu-tions of STARFLEET, Lieutenant General Temple was a member of the Fourth Brigade, where he served as Deputy Officer in Charge. Before his passing, Lieutenant General Temple had managed to take over 1100 courses between STARFLEET Academy & the Marine Corps Academy. As a tribute, the Boothby for 1100 courses is named the Truman Temple Award. Lieutenant General Temple was one of the best of us and those of us who knew him are better for that experience. - Lieutenant General Michael J Timko Sr. We also wish to thank and credit the following...
